Is this oil rubbed bronze more black with copper rubbed through or more brown-ish?

It's more brown-ish. I bought a copper sink and tried to match the drain with it; it wasn't exact but came pretty close. Hope this helps !

I would say more black with copper rubbed through it . . . it's kinda purple-ish, if that makes sense.

It is both to a certain extent. Different manufacturers have different ideas as to how it should be. Generally it is coffee colored glaze with a copper base showing through, but it varies. Try to stick with the same maker for a whole room if you can but it is pretty impossible. My bathroom with all oil rubbed bronze fixtures blends pretty well together. The darkness of the item also tends to mask differences in styles also.

Hi Sydney, I don't know what Albert saw, but the piece that I received was definitely more of a darker brownish variety of ORB, more of a deep copper look. If you are using it with a copper sink, which is what I did, it looks great. If you are looking to match fixtures that show a more Black ORB with copper-type streaks then this is not your Drain-stop! FYI, I am a Custom Home Builder so I make this distinction often. Hope this helps. Mark C.

I think it is more brownish, but I have used it in a antique copper sink and it looks and works great!

The color of the metal is a brownish color, closer to bronze than silver. Hope this is helpful!

It is dark oil rubbed brown but I use it in a room with black furniture and it looks fine.

It's more of a dark brown. I'd say not at all coppery. The cushion isn't real coppery either, but leans more that way than the frame.

As I said in my review it's very close, but it's more of a dark burgundy color. Whereas true oil rubbed bronze is more of a dark brown. As long as it's not sitting right next to your fixtures I doubt anyone would notice. I uploaded a picture but not sure if Amazon will let it post, and keep in mind it's a phone pic. http://i.imgur.com/tFylEAf.jpg. Having said all that, I don't regret the purchase. Good deal for the money.

It is a dark chocolate bronze. Very pretty but not really an oiled rubbed bronze .

oil rubbed bronze is a darker brownish color than Tuscan bronze. Oil rubbed bronze approaches a black color in appearance

The picture as it appears on my screen is accurate. It is called oil rubbed bronze and is definitely more brown than black, and has an antiqued appearance.

It's not black but not brass either. I would call it oil rubbed bronze. Very nice looking if that's the color your looking for.

The color is true oil rubbed bronze. Mine was installed in November last year and I am very pleased with it.

This is a more copper colored bronze. It doesn't match with the black bronze stuff, but it is nice :)

It's almost like oil-rubbed bronze, very dark. There's not much copper highlight.

My husband said it's black... but he's a man. It's definitely brown, or a very poor imitation of a "bronze". I wanted black so I'm a little bummed :( Can't beat the price, though.

I am also looking at these hot water dispensers and I believe the color "venetian bronze" is usually a very dark bronze, almost black. If that's the case then I would definitely go with the oil-rubbed bronze, NOT the "mocha bronze."

More like very dark, almost black, antiqued bronze with occasional coppery reflection. That said, it weathers just about black.

Hi, yes its a aged bronze, leaning on the very dark rust colour so from a distance it does look black or very dark brown..trust that helps!

It's darker than most oil rubbed bronze. Mine also discolored and developed a white haze in less than one year.
